1/21/2003 07:53:00 PM | Timothy What else is Ritter inspecting? Andrew Kallmann is going to love this crap (via drudge): More Details in Former Weapons Inspector's Arrest Channel Six News has learned that Colonie Police arrested former UN Weapons Inspector and Delmar resident Scott Ritter two years ago as part of an Internet sex sting operation. Sources say Ritter was charged in June of 2001 for trying to lure a 16 year-old girl he met online to a Burger King. But that 16-year old girl was really a Colonie Police investigator. Sources say Ritter was charged with a misdemeanor, but the case was adjourned in contemplation of dismissal and a judge sealed the record. Ritter searched Iraq for weapons in the years following the Gulf War. More recently, he's been speaking out against President Bush's policies on Iraq and has been a frequent contributor on national and local newscasts, including Channel 6 News. UPDATE: Andrew Kallmann on The Dartmouth Observer says that if the news above "were true, it would beg the question: was he blackmailed? is that the explanation for his strange behavior and bizarre flip-flops?" Huh? What would be the motivation for THE POLICE to blackmail Scott Ritter? Maybe that town has some pro-Iraq cops, right?! Or is Kallmann implying some leftist anti-war cabal has been hanging out in statutory rape rings so it can find people to blackmail? Strange way to 'advance the cause!' (Or perhaps Pat Buchanan fans were involved? Uh huh...) perma link |
